Abstract

Aim:

Study the mapping of employees from the specialized precincts for women (DEMs) and their perception of the Maria da Penha law. Methodology: Quantitative-qualitative study conducted in municipalities of Paraiba that have DEMs. The sample was composed of 30 employees and the instruments used were a form and interviews related to the Maria da Penha law, which were recorded on MP3 and transcribed and analyzed using the Discourse of the Collective Subject. Result: The Maria da Penha Law is important for protecting women against violence. It has led to an increased work load at the precincts because it transformed a civil process into a police inquiry. In general, the employees enjoyed working at the DEM; however, there are human resource and infrastructure problems. Conclusion : The study subjects believe that the law should be enforced more effectively by the state, by providing comprehensive assistance to victims of violence, including shelter and counseling to the families involved in the process.
